Understanding Body Shapes
Before diving into the swimwear pool, it’s essential to understand your body shape. Here are some common body shapes and how to choose swimwear to suit each one:
1. Hourglass
Characteristics: Balanced bust and hips with a narrow waist.
Swimwear Tips: The hourglass shape can rock just about anything! Enhance your curves with bikinis that have underwire tops or high-waisted bikinis that accentuate your waist. Consider models from the High Waisted Bikinis collection for a trendy touch. Pair your swimsuit with a stylish Striped High Slit Maxi Dress for effortless chic.
2. Pear
Characteristics: Wider hips and thighs with a smaller bust and shoulders.
Swimwear Tips: Focus on balancing your top and bottom. Bold patterns or embellished tops can help draw attention upwards while solid, relaxed bottoms like those in our Bikini Sets can flatter your hips. A Gingham Tie Shoulder Mini Dress makes a flirtatious cover-up option.
3. Apple
Characteristics: Broader across the bust and waist, with slimmer legs and hips.
Swimwear Tips: Look for swimwear that provides excellent support. Tankinis or a well-fitted Ruched Halter One-Piece Swimsuit can be very flattering. Accentuate your legs with flowing skirts or dresses like the Striped V-Neck Ruffle Hem Mini Dress.
4. Athletic
Characteristics: Balanced figure with fewer curves.
Swimwear Tips: Choose styles that create the illusion of curves. Look for bikini tops with ruffles or padded styles and bottoms that add volume, such as those found in the High Waisted Bikinis collection. To add a feminine flair, consider pairing your ensemble with soft and stylish resort wear tops like those in our Resort Tops.
